Keystroke logging is used legitimately as a suitable research instrument in several writing contexts. These include studies on cognitive writing processes, which include
* descriptions of writing strategies; the writing development of children (with and without writing difficulties),
* spelling,
* first and second language writing, and
* specialist skill areas such as translation and subtitling.
Keystroke logging can be used to research writing, specifically. It can also be integrated into educational domains for second language learning, programming skills, and typing skills.
